Punky hair stuff
Jan. 8th, 2012 03:19 pmShould probably add photos to this... maybe later.
Roundabout last year, I decided to spike my hair for a party. Everyone liked the spikes, and encouraged me to do this as a regular thing. So I did.
A while ago, I pondered dying it black but was hesitant. Several people said I should give it a go. So I did. Decided I kinda like it. Not better or worse. Looks a bit tougher. Liked the change so thought I'd stick with it for a while. When it grew out, went with plum semi-perm. Two tone effect was subtle but I liked it.
Felt like being a little more adventurous. Tried adding blue highlights. A lot of faff to pre-lighten, and slightly orangey wasn't light enough for the blue to work. It just wasn't at all visible. Tried again with red. Large chunky patches. Left it on for as long as possible. Really liked this. Should have taken photos. Trouble with this is that the colour just doesn't last. I knew this, but was surprised how much it had faded noticeably the next day. After a week it's still sort of reddish but veering towards blonde. I'm sure I can refresh it. Am still at an experimental stage.
I rather like experimenting with interesting colours. Pondering what to do next.
